Trigger

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed
Version:1.2.6
Key:rss-new-item-in-feed

RSS Overview

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.

Trigger Code

import rss from "../../app/rss.app.mjs";

Version:0.0.1
Key:docupost-mail-postcard

DocuPost Overview

The DocuPost API enables automated mail handling, offering services like sending letters, postcards, and checks via a programmatic interface. Within Pipedream, you can harness this API to create dynamic, serverless workflows that trigger postal mail actions based on various events from a plethora of supported apps. Think of automating thank-you notes, payment disbursements, or direct mail marketing campaigns, all reacting in real-time to user behavior, payment events, or custom triggers.
